The ACF (Advanced Custom Fields Pro) Elliot is one of the best methods for quickly adding Custom Fields to your WordPress Posts / Custom Posts. A nice feature of the plugin is the intuitive method of grouping together fields in ‘Field Groups’. Oddly the ACF documentation doesn’t fully cover how to output all fields in a particular group. Here’s our approach:-
Output all Fields in ACF Field Group
// enter your Field ID in 123
$fields = acf_get_fields(123);
if( $fields )
{
foreach( $fields as $field )
{
$value = get_field( $field['name'] );
if(!empty($value)) {
echo '<dl>';
echo '<dt>' . $field['label'] . '</dt>';
echo '<dd>' .$value . '</dd>';
echo '</dl>';
}
}
}
Tip
The ACF field group is visible in the URL when you edit the Field Group >i.e. /wp-admin/post.php?post=123&action=edit
Why not make this into a Shortcode?
For handy including into your WordPress front-end you can easily make the above into a WordPress shortcode by wrapping it with the following PHP in your Child Theme functions.php file:-
// ACF Group Shortcode
function shortcode_acfgroup( $atts ){
// start
// add the above php here
// end
}
add_shortcode( 'acfgroup', 'shortcode_acfgroup' );
To add in your ACF Group Fields simply then add the shortcode [acfgroup]
